Guess its not rocket science, just need to tidy up, paint, light seal and make a ground glass.

Yes, but thats not what I want to do.
I will adapt the 1/2 plate holder to take 4x5's and smaller wet plates.
Just need a picture and I will be right, sure someone has done it before.
I have a...

Hi

Same as before but at f11. Adjusted the back light a little. Think I might put some eyes...

Neat, but I think I prefer the puppy dog face mask.

Thanks Philip, had a big old uv tanning light reflexted back onto the subject to give a nice warm firelight look, think it worked well. I need to work on my back lighting a bit more. Also made some...

Thanks Paul, I would agree, the prints a bit better defined and warmer, but still needs a bit more light.

Attempting to self teach studio lighting in a small space. Need a bit more fine tuning, probably help if I had descent model. I'll keep practicing.

What a great beard. Very nice profile picture, 8 seconds is epic.

Think it looks more like Jar Jar Binks.

Thanks Mr Can.

14 x 17 fuji xray contact print using Vandyke brown emulsion, home made pinhole camera.

Thanks, I burnt in the black for added dramatic impact (stage like), maybe a little too far, was an old decaying mirror in the dackground. I usually try and just hold the shadows if doing a final...

Looks like bad film or chemistry, as Doremus suggests. How old is the film, was it ever left in a hot car or storage. Ilfosal 3 only lasts a few months once opened. Really need to decanter into smal...

I can never get away with not doing a test strip to work out exposure times and contrast. Also let dry, because some papers dry darker than others.
Agree that 2 mins in the developer minimum. I...

Nicely dramatic, strange to have the sun so low to the horizon at miday and to have fog so late in the day.

I have some 1948 Dupont that still prints with normal processing, not perfect. Give it a try.

24 x 30 cameras (I recently bought one) are pretty cheap and you can make backs for other formats without too much problems.
I intend to do the same as you eventually. 24 x 30 might be a little...

Thanks Dave. I did a 11x14 print without the top burn in and it is a little better. Can only scan up to 8x10 prints.
